Welcome to Gray Tower, established in 1896 by world renowned architect, George Barber. Stately and timeless, yet comfortable enough for everyday living combined with peace of mind knowing the home which is listed in the National Historic Registry of Places, has been updated with the most import factors, structural and mechanical integrity! Since acquiring the property in 2011, the Sellers have invested $150,000. New HVAC /duct work, new $32,000 roof, chimney sweep, liners and flashing, farmhouse sink, double oven, walnut butcher block counters, new electrical and plumbing, spray foam and R38 insulation from cellar to all exterior walls and attic and new water heater, security system. Large backyard with storage barn, fire pit, deck, patio, aluminum picket fence/gate & 3 car carport. 116 Indiana Ave., Maryville, TN. 37803 resides on a tree lined street in the College Hill Historic District and is steps away from Maryville College, fine dining, retail shopping and a short 20 minute drive to over 500 miles of hiking trails in the majestic Smoky Mountains. The property owner's are in possession of all of the documents in the library that show the house plans, contract, purchases, deeds, skeleton keys and more. Did you know this home was once white and it was much later that it changed to the current color and neighboring residents lovingly refer to it as "the pink house". The old adage, "they don't make them like they used to", is an understatement with regards to this unique and compelling piece of real estate. The footprint lives large with soaring eleven foot ceilings on both the first and second floors and spacious common areas along with five bedrooms, three full and two half bathrooms. Linger awhile, notice the details, imagine how you can make this exceptional property your new home and also realizing that there is something about Gray Tower, that draws you in, encouraging you to slow down, recapture moments, take back your weekends engaging with neighbors, exploring your community and truly establishing roots. While we think this home is perfect, we understand that today's buyer might need a floor plan that suits their particular needs in a different way than featured here. Don't discount the fact that these rooms are huge, especially by today's new construction standards. The great news is the current rooms can be transformed to fit today's desired living. The music room/formal living room would make a dramatic dining room. Entertaining friends and family to a sit down dinner while enjoying the views to the four square English Garden, oh my! The current dining room can easily become a huge kitchen for today's families with the prestigious feature of the added butler's pantry (current kitchen) and second walk in pantry. Add an impressive island in the center of the room, place a breakfast table in front of the large windows, wall to wall cabinetry to the sky and you have yourself a kitchen worthy of Town and Country Magazine! Or, you can just love it the way it is, appreciating the formal yet fuss free lifestyle, joining the homeowner's before you in preserving the legacy. This is just a short list of the "Special Points of Interest" you will find along your way. Remember to pause and consider the "value" in the finishes as you will not see that same comparable "value" in the homes of today. Please refer to the Special Points of Interest Page under documents for more details.
